Loved the friendly and helpful staff!! Great location! Our rooms were in the side/back building, it was super quiet. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean! We went for Mother’s Day weekend and I was surprised that the price was very affordable!

I never understand why all lodging stick third-party booking guests on upper levels and odd corners. If you don’t like their prices, don’t offer your establishment on these sites
Don’t miss the ocean view at the park at the end of the road. It’s worth the short drive.

The place was nice and quiet. My only complaint was is that the bathroom was cold and that condensation on the toilet tank is dripping on the floor, and that makes the floor wet.

Hotel was nice but was not happy with having to pay a $200 deposit.

Had room 117 which was the very end of the block. Road noise +++. Wouldn’t be relocated to another room. Told it would become quieter after 8pm or so. The room itself was ok and bed comfortable.
Better places to stay than this.

The hotel was nice. Very close to lots of dinning, grocery store, gas, the beach. Very convenient. The man at the counter was also very nice.
Was sad they only have the mini golf on the weekends. Cuz it looked very fun. But besides that, everything was nice.
